Why did Zhang Pu write the script of "Parasite" to Jiang Yun in the first place?

To a large extent, it's the joke of "what happens if you win the Palme d'Or in Cannes for a second consecutive year".

He wrote this script purely with a try, and he didn't expect to be re-elected.

Zhang Pu attaches more importance to the box office, which he never denies, and even this is from his mouth.

But this film, when he wrote it, he really didn't rush to the box office, and he didn't think about what the box office of this film would be.

Who would have thought that not only would he win the Palme d'Or at Cannes for a second time, but also that the box office would be so amazing.

Zhang Pu felt that his character had exploded again.

Could it be that if you come through time, it is God's father's boy, or the man of Lady Luck? So what is related to you, whether it is a screenwriter or a director, will be successful?

The investment cost of "Parasite" is not high, and after winning the Cannes Palme d'Or, the copyright in Europe and other places was sold at a high price, not only recovering the cost, but also making a small profit.

Now, the box office of this film on the first day is so amazing, even if the decline is amazing, this film will definitely bring hundreds of millions, or even hundreds of millions, to Oriental DreamWorks.

Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, and North America haven't been released yet!

I think the box office shouldn't be too bad.

The box office of the film on the first day was amazing, and the reputation was also extremely good, and the film gave many people a great boost.

Compared with the poor sense of substitution of fans of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Parasite" has made many fans see their own shadow.

The box office is high enough, the reputation is good enough, and the sustainability of the box office is generally not too bad.

The turmoil caused by Huang Ye during this period must have greatly boosted the box office on the first day of the film.

Huanyu Film and Television can be regarded as stealing chickens this time.

Huang Ye not only did not plant, but also went further, his popularity and popularity skyrocketed, and Oriental DreamWorks was naturally beneficial.

Huanyu Film and Television now has a serious damage to the company's image, and the public relations cost far more than the money to buy Huang Ye's assistant.

Of course, Oriental DreamWorks also spends a lot of money.

Is it worth spending money like this?

At least in the eyes of Zhang Pu and Xu Jiadong, it is definitely worth it. Not to mention killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 themselves, if they get angry, they can kill 800 enemies and lose 1,000.

Moreover, listening to the two of them, they didn't plan to stop at all.

Thanks?

"Got an idea?" Xu Jiadong asked with a smile.

smearing the image of Huanyu Film and Television on the Internet, Xu Jiadong is naturally not relieved.

In addition, he also added some blockages to the film schedule invested by Huanyu Film and Television.

It is naturally impossible for the cinema chain under Wanhui Group not to schedule films for Huanyu Film and Television, and the question of how much can be arranged can still be floated.

For example, when the film does not perform well, the reduction in the film schedule is larger.

"Aren't there no famous actors in Huanyu Film and Television? Let's share the pressure of their directors? Let the director and the actors reach a balance. Zhang Pu said lightly.

When Jiang Xingwen heard this, he was a little speechless. The director who poached people was even cheeky enough to help them share the pressure and let the director and actors achieve a balance.

What balance?

There are no famous actors in Huanyu Film and Television, so don't have any famous directors.

It's digging up the roots of their company.

"Who is the director of Huanyu Film and Television?" Xu Jiadong looked at Jiang Xingwen and asked.

He was very interested in Zhang Pu's proposal.

Why can Huanyu Film and Television become a big film and television company?

A big reason is that the company's contracted directors are very powerful.

"Wen Hao!" Jiang Xingwen said.

"Him!" Xu Jiadong heard this, then nodded and said.

Wen Hao's name is not small, and Xu Jiadong naturally heard of it.

He is one of the few directors in China whose films have broken one billion at the box office, and he is the second director to break one billion after Zhang Ke. If it weren't for Zhang Pu's sudden rise, he would have been the one with the strongest box office appeal among the first-line directors.

Although his subsequent films did not break one billion again, the box office was not low.

"He's not easy to dig!" Jiang Xingwen said.

It's not easy to dig the head director of any company, let alone the head director of a big company.

Rather for the head of a chicken, not for the tail of a phoenix.

What's more, people are not chicken heads, they are crested themselves.

Wen Hao is the boss in Huanyu Film and Television, but when he arrives at Oriental DreamWorks, can he still be the boss?

Although Oriental DreamWorks only has three film directors now, not to mention that Wen Haolai can't be the boss, even Zhang Ke can't come.

Who is the boss of the signed directors of Oriental DreamWorks?

It's not Jiang Yun, a top director.

Even if he is a bull who won the Palme d'Or at Cannes for a second time, he almost swept the Golden Dragon Award.

Naturally, it is not Lin Mu, a director who has just been promoted to the front line.

There is no doubt that it is Zhang Pu.

He's the boss, and not just because he's the largest shareholder in Oriental DreamWorks.

Whether it is Jiang Yun or Lin Mu, with today's achievements, Zhang Pu's script is indispensable.

"Just try it. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

Jiang Xingwen nodded.

Oriental DreamWorks now has abundant funds, even if it gives Wen Hao a budget for another blockbuster, there is no pressure.

As long as you don't make two or three big productions in a row, there will be no problems with the company's operation.

Jiang Xingwen doesn't think the company will pounce on two or three big productions in a row.

The box office of "Parasite" on the second day declined, but the magnitude was not large, and the single-day box office still exceeded 100 million.

Moreover, there are more and more discussions about this film on the Internet.

On the third day, perhaps because of the working day, "Parasite" still topped the single-day box office list, but the single-day box office fell to the 100 million mark.

The cumulative box office in three days is more than 350 million.

The box office broke 400 million in four days, and there seems to be no problem.

The total box office of the film is expected to exceed one billion.

However, Zhang Pu is not optimistic about this.

The film's box office drop is not small.

Of course, even if it is difficult to break one billion, the box office of this film far exceeds expectations.

Oriental DreamWorks also made a lot of money from this.

"How?"

Zhang Pu asked Jiang Xingwen. He knew that Jiang Xingwen had made an appointment to meet Wen Hao, and the other party did not refuse.

If you refuse, then it's probably no fun.

didn't refuse to meet, even if he refused to change jobs, then there was still a chance.

"There's a chance!" Jiang Xingwen said, "However, I think we need to think carefully about it." ”

"The conditions he proposed are excessive?" Xu Jiadong frowned and said.

"I didn't talk about it!" Jiang Xingwen shook his head and said, "Wen Hao wants to make a science fiction film, but Huanyu Film and Television is unwilling to vote." ”

When Zhang Pu heard this, he immediately understood what Jiang Xingwen meant.

This is indeed an opportunity.

If Oriental DreamWorks is willing to invest in Wen Hao to make a science fiction film, then there is a great chance of poaching people.

But the question is whether it's worth it!

Huanyu Film and Television is reluctant to invest in science fiction films, and Jiang Xingwen is not.

Or how many people are willing to cast sci-fi movies?

There are many types of movies, but for Chinese filmmakers, science fiction films are a pit!

I don't know how many people fell into this pit and sank into the sand. Many big directors are also not guaranteed because of the late season of science fiction films.

Science fiction films are a pain for Chinese filmmakers.

So far, there has not been a single money-making or even a good reputation of science fiction films in China.

This is not a problem with the domestic market.

Because Hollywood's sci-fi blockbusters are not low at the box office in China.

Some sci-fi films that hit the North American box office have been box office hits in China.

This inevitably made Chinese filmmakers extremely unconvinced.

Why can Hollywood's bad movies be sold in China, but the sci-fi films they shoot with their hearts are always hitting the streets, and they are scolded miserably?

Could it be that the moon is rounder abroad?

Science fiction films are a pain for Chinese filmmakers, and it is not a knot in the hearts of Chinese filmmakers.

Many filmmakers want to prove that Huaxia can also produce good science fiction films.

It's a pity that no investor is willing to take this risk.

"It's okay to cast a sci-fi movie. First, though, I'll have to read his script. If I don't have a script, I just have one here. Zhang Pu thought for a while and said.

On top of the global market, what film has the best market foundation?

That's definitely sci-fi.

Huaxia films have done nothing in the international market, and there are no reasons for this.

Sci-fi films, Oriental DreamWorks will shoot sooner or later.

"Do you have a script for a science fiction film?" Jiang Xingwen said with some surprise.

Of course there is, and there are a lot of them.

However, Zhang Pu wrote only one.

"Well, you can take a look at it first. Zhang Pu immediately took out the script and said, "This sci-fi film is different from those sci-fi films in Hollywood, and has strong Chinese characteristics." ”

Jiang Xingwen didn't ask much, but looked at the script curiously.

After reading it, he understood why Zhang Pu said that he had strong Chinese characteristics.

Title: "The Wandering Earth"!

What Jiang Xingwen experienced in it was the principles and moral standards of the Chinese people.

The various anti-routine settings in the plot are a more scientific and reasonable vision of a community with a shared future for mankind in the face of the apocalyptic crisis, and make Chinese characteristics.

The mountains are removed from the way, the sea is filled in with disasters, the sky is broken and mended, the foolish man moves the mountain, Jingwei reclaims the sea, and Nuwa mends the sky, these are the pride of fighting against heaven and earth in the blood of the Chinese, and the theme of the movie that fights for life and hope in the face of the end times is very compatible.

The film highlights the saturated rescue of the spirit of collectivism that is not afraid of sacrifice.

"For the sake of sacrifice and ambition, dare to call the sun and the moon to change the sky"!

The origin and end of the story lie in the family and inheritance, with a strong Chinese "family and country feelings".

"I don't know if Wen Hao has a script, even if he does, I guess I will lose it after reading your script. Jiang Xingwen said with a smile.

Behind Zhang Pu's script, there are many prop design drawings. Obviously, Zhang Pu should have planned to shoot this script by himself.

Unexpectedly, in order to dig people, he actually took out the script.

How strong is this vindictiveness!

However, this seems to be very much in line with Zhang Pu's temperament.

Maybe it's not that he has a strong sense of revenge, but Zhang Pu has a lot of scripts, and it seems that it's nothing to give this script to Wen Hao.

What's more, Zhang Pu is also the largest shareholder of Oriental DreamWorks.

If Wen Hao comes to Oriental DreamWorks, it will naturally be of great benefit to the company.

If he directs "The Wandering Earth" and is a big hit, maybe the time for the company to go public will be completely ripe.
